MARCOALESSI
She was a perfect example of the feminine form.
Inspired by James Joyce’s ‘Araby’, I chose to write a short story with an unreliable narrator resulting in multiple possible interpretations, and culminating in a problematic epiphany. The story begins in medias re s leaving readers to formulate their own opinion of the characters. The extent to which the narrator is infatuated with Imogen is made clear through the intricate and sexualised nature of her first-person description. Murakami makes social comments through his fictional worlds, and in similar fashion I aimed to challenge the zeitgeist that society is increasingly indifferent to racial or sexual variation, since we all have undeniable preconceptions.
